In total, 180 competitors are set to complete more than 1100 runs over five days of competition as they vie for almost $65,000 in prizemoney.
CAMPDRAFT CLASS: Competitor Rachael Bean works hard in the arena.
Nixon’s Crossing owner and event organiser Terry Jones said she believed the facilities were what made the campdraft – now in its sixth year – so popular.

The campdraft concludes on Sunday.
